What's new

Every user now has a public profile at /u/[id] showing their stamps, stats, Irish level, and bio. If it's your own profile, you'll see an Edit button.

Edit your display name, city, bio, and Irish level from the new /profile page. Irish level uses tappable pill cards instead of a dropdown. Save button floats at the bottom when you have unsaved changes.

12 macOS-inspired pastel colour options for profile pictures, each with a unique emoji and animated gradient. Profile picture and stamp colour pickers coming soon.

Avatar in the navbar now reflects your chosen profile picture. Dropdown shows View Profile link, Edit Profile moved below Learn Irish, and Irish proverbs replace the free coffee text.

Added a dedicated page about the Craicathon hackathon and our Anois cló Gaelach font by Gaeltacht Type.

Sitemap, robots.txt, JSON-LD structured data, and metadata on every page. Ready for Google and AI search.

Installed @vercel/analytics for core web vitals and traffic insights.

Stamps in the navbar now stack and expand on hover with a smooth animation showing venue logos.
